First, I’ve been Traiting into downstate damage for a long time as my team is specced for revival. This has suited me particularly well against mes/teef teams because I can counter-pressure as I am being rezzed.
Realistically, do I think it needs a nerf? No, but a lot can be said for both sides of the argument. I’m going to break down my thoughts on the subject as I feel I have a considerable amount of experience utilizing downstate.
Reasons why I think that the current downstate is fine:
- You HAVE to spec full damage 6 2 0 0 6 with berserker amulet for this to have the effectiveness currently seen.
- You are a Necromancer, master of death, in your final hour isn’t it right that you should reign supreme?
*The effectiveness comes from close to death and spinal shivers coupled with the + 50% more downed damage, there is bug or anything that causes down damage to go to some crazy number
*Are necromancer’s overpowered? Do they deserve to have something that they should have already had stripped away from them? the plain answer is no, powermancer especially has Never been meta and this is more like a joke than anything and will not at all make it meta.
*Does this make you win EVERY downfight 1v1? No, I could already beat many things (rangers, guardians, etc.) in downstate with the 50% more damage trait, does this make it so I can take warriors? Maybe, but most likely not (especially if they bring endure).
*Can I let myself go down and annihilate the mid-fight with ludicrous damage? Of course not, or we would beat abjured in the Go4 cup later today.
So, kitten all you want, but just know, from my experience (and I have done plenty of testing) going down is NOT godmode, but can provide enough pressure to make playing power necro a bit more worth it.
